Where is Caroline Dubois vs. Terri Harper?

Who is Caroline Dubois?

Caroline Dubois, 12-0-1 (5 KOs), is the WBC lightweight titleholder. She will be making the fourth defense of her belt – and seeking to add another in this unification bout with WBO titleholder Terri Harper.

Dubois, a 25-year-old from London, is the sister of heavyweight Daniel Dubois. Her amateur years culminated in a berth in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Dubois won her first two bouts in the lightweight tournament before losing a close decision in the quarterfinals to eventual bronze medalist Sudaporn Seesondee.

“Sweet Caroline” entered the professional ranks in early 2022. In August 2024, in her 10th pro outing, Dubois outpointed Maira Moneo and was awarded the WBC’s secondary interim belt at 135lbs. She was then upgraded once Katie Taylor vacated the primary title later in the year.

In her three fights last year, Dubois had a cut-shortened technical draw with the 14-4 Jessica Camara; took a majority decision over the 18-2-3 Bo Mi Re Shin; and won wide on the scorecards against the 8-2-1 Camilla Panatta.

Who is Terri Harper?

Terri Harper, 16-2-2 (6 KOs), is a 29-year-old from Doncaster, England, who has won world titles in three weight classes, including her current reign with the WBO lightweight belt.

Harper turned pro in November 2017 and won her first strap in February 2020, receiving the WBC junior lightweight belt in February 2020 with a wide decision over Eva Wahlstrom. Her first defense was a very competitive battle with Natasha Jonas that ended as a draw. Harper then fought through a broken hand for several rounds before stopping the 13-0 Katharina Thanderz.

It was another year before Harper returned, and that brought the end of her reign, as she was dispatched herself in four rounds by Alycia Baumgardner in November 2021. By September 2022, Harper was up four divisions at junior middleweight, where she outpointed Hannah Rankin for the WBA belt. Harper then won a decision over Ivana Habazin and fought to a draw with Cecilia Braekhus in a 2023 bout that also had the vacant WBO title on the line. 

Since then, Harper has been going back down in weight. She was stopped after four rounds by then-welterweight titleholder Sandy Ryan in March 2024. Six months later, Harper took the WBO belt at 135lbs by outpointing the 10-0 Rhiannon Dixon. In her first defense (and most recent fight), Harper widely outpointed the 13-0 Natalie Zimmermann last May.

What other fights are on the undercard of Caroline Dubois vs. Terri Harper?

The undercard includes an undisputed championship fight at 122lbs between Ellie Scotney, 11-0 (0 KOs), who has the IBF, WBC and WBO titles, and WBA beltholder Mayelli Flores Rosquero, 13-1-1 (4 KOs).

Two other title fights are featured on the show: Irma Garcia, 25-5-1 (5 KOs), will defend her IBF junior bantamweight belt against Emma Dolan, 8-0 (1 KO); and former undisputed junior welterweight champion Chantelle Cameron, 21-1 (8 KOs), will vie for the vacant WBO title at 154lbs against Michaela Kotaskova, 11-0-2 (4 KOs).
